EXACTLY. I don't necessarily care that much, since I've seen far worse downgrades (Dark Souls 2 for example), and the gameplay still looks great to me, but people are in denial or something.

Here's a different scene that shows it better IMO. Someone tell me with a straight face that this 2018 scene looks better than what we saw in 2016:

Different lighting. The 2018 footage is like mid-day where there's not a lot of sun going on. In the 2016 footage it seems like later in the day, sun is soon about to go down.

That's why the lighting on the suit is so different as well.

Surprised that the 2018 building on the right is changed though. Seems like a strange change to make but maybe they really wanted some variety but outside of that I can't see the downgrade. I can see the difference in lighting though.

Someone can come here and show comparisons in GTA V for example of the same exact place but different lighting and trust me one picture is gonna look worse depending on what lighting you prefer.

Different lighting blurs the background and removes almost all vehicles from the street? Who's running the lights? Thanos? LOL.

"Hey, maybe if we replace the traffic with a couple of birds nobody will notice! High five! We'll blame the lighting!"

The blur is new but I wouldn't say that's a downgrade? Also the cars just happened to not be there. Do you think such a big world will just have no cars in it? Of course it will. I mean the comparison also showed in 2018 there were birds right as he jumped.

And even houses and stuff were changed. But there's a clear lighting difference in the comparison which makes it a terrible comparison to make.
